Hey guys, I'm going to be honest with y'all. This blog probably isn't going to be a Hetalia/Statetalia blog anymore because I just don't find it all that interesting anymore, and some of my old stuff makes me cringe at how bad it is, so I'm going to delete a bunch of stuff. It's been fun being part of the Hetalia fandom. I've been in it since seventh grade, but as I've gotten older, I've matured and no longer want to be involved in the Hetalia fandom. It was nice knowing you all. I'm probably going to post about OCs and other stuff now. ~ thestatesofamerica50

Early Appalachian frontiersman Alfred in buckskin circa 1790- 1810s. I’m trying to figure out how to paint like NC Wyeth digitally (so lol the background is Wyeth’s).
Gonna ramble a bit about my nor’easter au and Alfred below the cut
Following the American Revolution, Alfred is immediately sent out to squash any rebellions (like whiskey rebellion) and to partake in wars against Indigenous nations like the Cherokee. I’ll save a discussion about the Cherokee wars for another time because that’ll take a long time to explain + I’m still working on my Cherokee oc and I need to understand Cherokee history and perspective more before I go forward with talking about this topic.
Now the many of the east coast states are older than Alfred, and they mostly supported him during the revolution because they thought he’d be easy to control given at the time of the revolution he wasn’t tied down as any colony or city. However, he was a New Englander and very obviously so
He was once Plymouth colony and he grew up alongside his cousin Henry/Massachusetts, but by the time the revolution occurred, his status was unclear and he was simply living with his cousin (who’s his earliest and most fierce supporter) .
These states operated like countries and part of why the had the revolution was to continue to self-govern and maintain their regional cultures. It’s also part of why the federal government initially was rather weak. Given Alfred’s closeness to his cousin, and his very staunch New England identity, I think the states would be hesitant over a strong New England national control. And so I think they especially Jennie/NY & Rich/Virginia encouraged Alfred to leave his cousin for a while, and partake in military campaigns (+ he was good at battle).
Also Alfred was like 14, and I don’t think he’s ever been the type to sit down and do paperwork. Honestly he was always a bad student, who was far more interested in the outdoors, horses, sailing and hunting. While he won the war, and he was fine with being head of state, he still didn’t 1) have confidence in himself to make non-military related decisions 2) he just wasn’t mentally ready to take on the responsibilities and was fine deferring it to his states like Jennie, Rich, or Henry to figure out matters that weren’t military related. He was irresponsible and it would come back to bite him in the ass during the Civil War.
Alfred on a personal level it was probably good for him to get away from his overly critical cousin who can be overbearing, but also so he would get more experience to deeply get to know his states.
Also Alfred, growing up in New England, he was a little ball of rage as a kid and he has a difficult time managing his emotions. He wasn’t exactly the personable seemingly fun loving Alfred of the present. Not that he couldn’t crack a joke, but ok I’m not from New England, but in the northeast I find we’re rather cynical, un-filtered and sarcastic and tbh kind of asssholes in the way we have fun and in our humor. That’s how he was, which is like fine unless you’re trying to appeal to the rest of the nation lol which he would have to
I think his time spent in Appalachia and the south did help him learn more about his other states especially Maisie/ North Carolina. But also helped him learn more how to let go some of this intense New England rage, and how to better control his emotions. But also let loose in a way that isn’t so dark and cynical. Also I think this helped him slowly learn how to speak with less of a New England specific accent
He was also able to observe states like Rich and Carl/ South Carolina and gain an understanding of how being able to control your emotions, can help control your image and how others perceive you. So these are the origins of how he slowly began to shape and become at least in public this overly friendly happy go lucky Alfred.
I’ll save a discussion about his interactions with the Appalachian states more explicitly another time I’m just tired😴 fr rn

The askanAmerican sub-reddit is really funny
Mostly because every week it's middle aged tech bro users unknowingly recreate Hetalia with their "if each state was personified what would they bring to a dinner" and "if each nation was personified, who would America hang out with" questions

Whoa it's a Maryland
She's one of the older states, around the same age as Virginia and she's a real old soul. She has slipped into 1700's lingo before. While a kind person, and she tries really hard to keep it up, she is ready to throw down if given a good enough reason. She can switch between "hospitable southerner" and "intimidating northerner" SO fast.
She's also super athletic, playing lacrosse and jousting with her horse, Old. She also knows everything about boats, how they're made, and how to drive them. She has been through the USNA several times and has to be chased off of campus now because all she does is "um, actually" the professors.
Has SUCH a specific taste when it comes to food. If she didn't make it herself, or if you don't make it a certain way, she won't eat it. She is also in the middle of some elaborate BS. One week she's tending to a lighthouse and the next she's in DC talking politics.
She and Virginia have a love-hate relationship. They're sisters and they have been with each other for a long time, but they just get so annoyed with each other so easily. Maryland's still kinda mad at Virginia for taking back land from DC. Like, what the hell man?

New York: this made up beef west coast people have with east coast people.
New York: why would I hate you all the way out in California when Jersey is right there?

Mutual combat, or consent to do battle, is an affirmative defense in assault and aggravated assault cases in the Lone Star State. Washington is the only other state in the union that allows this.
Lmao I completely understand Texas but Washington feels a bit random. I guess some legacies still exist through state laws lol
Now I’m just imagining Texas and Washington dueling old west style XD

The Beginning of the End
Tumblr media
The beginning of the French & Indian War (North American Theatre of the Seven Years' War) ft Rich/Virginia, Jonah/West Virginia, & Charles/New France (c. @gardenkeeper)
In my lore, Alfred was by no means the favored colony, and Arthur, while he sort of cared for his colonies in a way, he was just too busy to properly keep track of them (hence the salutary neglect). Alfred is a staunch New Englander, and quite frankly it makes sense. New England always had more of a bone to pick with the British Empire than the tidewater south ever did...so this brings me to Rich/Virginia...
I like to think of Rich as the favorite of Arthur's British colonies given that Rich is more influenced by this southern English gentry culture that I see Arthur being influenced by too. Alfred is more eastern English in nature.
Rich has this typical southern gentleman attitude. Takes life too easily, quite the flirt, and quite charming, but he can be quite entitled especially given the fact he's basically the favorite out of the 13 and Alfred. ANYWAYS, what's happening in this picture?:
For context, neither Alfred, or his states' "first war" was the American Revolution-- quite frankly I dislike this hc because it ignores wars with Indigenous nations, and also ignores some of the reasoning behind isolationism. Also it sometimes come off as if you do not view Indigenous nations as sovereign and separate entities of the settler-colonial project.
Essentially these colonies were getting dragged into European fights albeit it in the North American theatre ex: Queen Anne's War/War of Spanish Succession. Some were getting tired of being in these fights because they were not reaping the benefits aka gaining more land....this led to Rich thinking he could get away with anything. Right? Arthur wouldn't care much if Rich, and his half-brother Jonah, roughed up some French colony asshole, Charles and just took his land because after all, they all hate the French anyways. Or so that's what Rich thought....he would come to find out he overstepped with Arthur because he essentially forced Arthur's hand into the Seven Years' War by getting Arthur further embroiled into another conflict with Francis.
This would lead Arthur to become more harsh with his colonies (ex trying to enforce one english national culture rather than let them proliferate with different english + some other cultural backgrounds) and would lead him to more closely govern.

I was searching around for information on intercolonial relations among the 13 colonies and I came across this absolutely delightful lecture that discusses the big ones. Some highlights that would make for some good defining traits for OCs would be:
New York
Snooty and curt
He can be uncomfortably direct in interpersonal interactions, but indirect and shifty in business
His Yankee sensibilities manifest in his dress, but still likes to indulge in the finer things in life
Bad posture
Racewalking champ since 1624
Massachusetts
Stubborn and prideful
All work and no play
Icy on the outside, lukewarm at best on the inside
She's a sharp intellectual who knows how to run an operation but barely knows how to talk to people
Flashy clothes scare her
Competition between her and New York on who likes money the most
Rhode Island
Little miss spitfire
Somehow more stubborn than Mass.
Big procrastinator
Gets left out a lot
Conneticut
Surprisingly pleasant compared to his peers
There's still something about him that's unnerving to England
Regicide enthusiast
Virginia
Arrogant and prideful
All play and no work
He's a bit of dandy that likes nice clothes and food, but also isn't afraid to throw down
Fuck you Baltimore
Really into fortune telling
Pennsylvania
Immaculate vibes that puts everyone at ease
Renaissance man
Very organized
I'll post a follow up to this with the other colonies some other time.

Masterlist of fics that include wings and/or flight but are too unfocused on that to even post under that tag:
-
GK999, The New Dream SMP Member
A Gameknight999 and Dream SMP crossover that includes a decent amount of flight, particularly chapters 2 and 27. Only one main character has wings, but he uses them a decent amount.
If you are curious about the overall plot and not just the parts relevant to this blog, c!Tommyinnt and Gameknight999 swap servers because I thought it would be funny and they are fighting to find their ways back.
-
Of Heroes And Trees
A Pokespe Dragon/medieval fantasy AU. There are no wings for any of the humans, but it has similar vibes to ME. (And I'm the author, so.)
Red's mother gets kidnapped and he goes on a journey to find her.
-
1912 inventions and their effects on immortality
A Statetalia (Hetalia OC) fic about Alaska flying a plane. None of it is actuate to plane physics and there are no bird wings involved, but it makes me feel something. </3
-
You're really joking at a time like this.
My other Statetalia fic. It's basically a crack fic pretending to be angst. One character has wings and I talk about them a decent amount so I'm putting it here.
-
In the moment, it felt sort of nice.
A 3rd Life Grian x Scar fic that mentions Grian's wings like once, but I REALLY like it so I'm gonna put it here anyway. <3
